What is BarSnap?

BarSnap lets you save your entire action bar layout as a named preset and restore it with one click. Stop dragging spells around every time you switch activities — snapshot your bars for farming, raiding, PvP, fishing, or world quests, then swap between them instantly.

Key Features

Full Bar Capture - Saves all action bars in a single snapshot. Spells, macros, items, mounts, toys, battle pets, equipment sets, and flyouts are all captured
One-Click Restore - Apply any preset instantly from the preset list. No dragging, no remembering where things go
Category Filters - Choose which action types to restore per preset. Filter by spells, macros, items, mounts, toys, or pets — restore only what you need
Per-Bar Filters - Enable or disable restoration for each individual action bar. Swap some bars while keeping others untouched
Preserve Layout Mode - Leave unlisted slots untouched instead of clearing them. Perfect for partial bar swaps where you want to keep some actions in place
Custom Icons - Pick any icon from Blizzard's built-in icon selector to personalize your presets
Preset Editor - Rename presets, change icons, toggle category filters, and manage options from a clean editor panel
Smart Validation - Skips unavailable actions (unlearned spells, missing items, deleted macros) and reports what was placed vs skipped
Retry Logic - Automatic retry on failed placements handles timing issues with other addons gracefully
Combat Safe - All bar modifications are blocked during combat to prevent protected action errors
Unlimited Presets - Save as many presets as you need, no arbitrary limits
Draggable Window - Position the window anywhere on screen, and it remembers where you left it
Lightweight - No AceGUI, no heavy libraries. Raw WoW frames, minimal memory footprint
